After heavy rain water leaks on either side of the rear window into the boot and onto thepump in the boot blowing the fuse for the central locking

Hi all, I'm looking to buy one of these. I went to see one today and was a bit appalled at the number of leaks I could spot in the engine bay so I walked away. One was dripping directly onto the exhaust manifold, a drop every 20-30 seconds, the other appeared to be from the left bank head...

Probably been mentioned before but serious enough to say it again. The pan gasket on my E63 MCT gearbox failed 6,000 miles after a gearbox service & had it not been for the fact that it was in the air at EMP for exhaust work I would never of known as the drips when stationary were almost zero...

The S124 passed another MoT last week, which I'm pleased about, but more oil leak advisories this year! I seem to be chasing oil leaks round this engine. Having fixed the cam cover, timing cover and oil level sensor leaks I now have one from somewhere near the oil filter. I guess it's...

I was getting my winter tyres on the wife's SL (R230) this morning and had an interesting conversation with the tyre place's owner, a bit of a petrol head. He has an Aston Martin on the garage, drives a 2013 Range Rover and has the SL63 for his wife. He told me he has had problems with water...

I wonder if anyone has had water leak problems into the area behind the back seats of their 124 estate? We've had some pretty bad rain here and I didn't notice till this morning when I removed some papers from behind the left hand side against the back of the rear seats that turned out to be...

Hello all. I was driving the car yesterday and the radiator light came up on the dash board. Having looked at the coolant level I saw that it was and topped it up. I started the car and saw that coolant was heavily leaking near the front bumper. Having looked closely I saw that there is a metal...

I recently had a worrying problem with the electrics that came down to water getting into a control box underneath the driver's seat. The guys at Auto Class in MK were brilliant, replaced the (heavily corroded) control unit and dried out the carpets - not easy with all that insulation foam. And...

My CLK 320 is leaking oil. A relatively small amount but nevertheless a concern. MB say that the oil is possibly from a sump seal but also could be from the engine seal at the back of the engine as there is some evidence of oil around the auto gearbox bell housing . They say that the job is an...

I have a couple of oil leaks from the differential on my Slk 230. One is from the front pinion seal and the other from the gasket at the rear of the diff. I understand that the pinion seal has a squashable ring which ensures that tolerances are within bounds. Does anyone know how to get this...

I seem to have the classic problem on the w123 estate that when it rains I end up with water in the rear foot wells. I need to remove the two plastic air vent covers on the bonnet/firewall to start with. They are attached with small square pegs that seem to push through. If I do this are they...
